WEBMASTER AND HIS CAR (page 5)
Work on the wood frame resumed in spring 2010, and now (May) the boot frame repairs are complete. Rot in parts of the rear cross-member were deep due to the two rain drainage holes. I built up one region in two stages to increase its strength before removing even more wood prior to completing the repair. I've also renewed some of the rounded corner pieces for the boot-lid opening and spare wheel door opening.

The sudden death of my mother (who I looked after in her old age) on the 19th July, has meant a pause in the AC restoration for a few weeks. I have too many other things to do, and don't feel like working on the AC at this sad time. Finances are also tighter now, so I'm postponing the purchase of more parts and materials for the AC.
Mum was instrumental in our family's acquisition of the AC back in 1962, as Dad was not keen on having a large car. However, Mum loved the styling, the distinctive light green colour, and the music of the silky-smooth engine.
